Holiday Nog

Not so long ago eggnog was made by blending raw eggs and cream together to make a very rich, thick beverage. Rum and nutmeg were often added to the adult drink. Today, food safety experts discourage drinking or consuming raw eggs at any time. (Purchased eggnog contains pasteurized eggs to eliminate any safety concerns.) Here, though, we've used soy drink and bananas, making a delightful taste while dramatically boosting the nutrition. Try it!
